I have a skilled job at a University. I’m working 200-220 hours a month, and I make a measly 2300 after taxes etc. Some weeks I work 35 hours of overtime or more.
My budget without groceries or daily expenses requires 3000.
It’s crazy to me that even with salaries on public record, there is no shame in underpaying. My department didn’t give raises for almost a decade. Last year, they offered just 4%.
That’s my complaint. Fuck work.
